International Journal of Pharmaceutics: XPLGA is a landmark in polymer-based drug delivery, due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability and great mechanical strength. However, its high mechanical resistance tends to be unfavorable for implantation, as it creates sharp edges upon rupture ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Is the transition to electric vehicles a just transition if the deep seabed has to be mined to provide the necessary rare metals and minerals? [PDF]
One of the panaceas touted for reducing global warming is a transition to electric vehicles. This may, however, come at an unjust environmental cost. This is because the demand for the rare metals and minerals required to make electric vehicle batteries ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Opportunities and challenges of sequential extraction of silicon in contrasting soils
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceIntroductionThe importance of silicon for soil functioning has only recently received the attention it deserves in soil science (and ecology). To identify the actual effects of Si on ecosystem functioning, a precise knowledge about different Si soil ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...
